You need to go see what code made the SES light come on....then go from there.

Get a free scan at the auto parts store.

BUT...do not buy anything they tell you to buy to fix it....yet.

The clicking by the MAF is the idle motor trying to figure out what do with an engine that isn't running.

This is not preventing your car from starting, however.

So, it cranks and starts when cold, but will not restart when hot?

Check the SES and see what codes it's throwing. Most of the auto stores don't loan the OBDII readers anymore, but you can pick up a cheap one at Harbor Freight. If your close to LAX you can borrow mine. Let us know what codes it's throwing.
